We ignored the warning
Let the sirens ring
Terror in the distance
Hear the sirens sing
Still scratching upwards
Gnawing through
Nightmare's teasing, turn the screw
Slide away slowly
No they won't care
Can you smell the burning
Run from the flare
Safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer than in the crush
It's safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer
Rats are safer in the sewer than in the crush
Those low end feelings
Still can't beat it
But the uptown pleasure never brings you down
There is no more meaning
In those damp ceilings
When life outside is about to burn
You're safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer than in the crush
Safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer
Safer in the sewer than in the crush
